You are given an unknown solid substance of mass 500 g and you want to estimate its specific heat. unfortunately, you don’t have a thermometer handy. instead, you throw the substance into a bucket of boiling water and wait until its in equilibrium with the boiling water. you then remove the hot substance from the boiling water and put it into a beaker with 400 ml ethyl alcohol at room temperature. immediately after adding the hot substance into the beaker, the volume scale reads 430 ml. after a while, when the alcohol and the substance reach equilibrium, the volume scale reads 429 ml.
What is the specific heat of the substance?
Hint: Assume that no heat was neither lost during the transfer nor to the environment. You can neglect the mass of the beaker. Room temperature is approximately 20 deg C and the density of ethyl alcohol is 789 kg/m^3.

A) 385 J/(mol K)
B) 4,057 J/mol K)
C) 2,090 J/(mol K)
D) 449 J/(mol K)
E) 7,500 J/(mol K)

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).
